Hi, everyone. I'm an alt, and I've been here in this sub for more than a year. I know that it's not good to have continuous posting, but I have to share my new story and I want to pay back to the community. My second post, and I can't be more thankful. Also, there's a TL;DR at the end of this post. <br><br>Actually, I've been continuous visiting this sub since I was 18 and still in high school after my sister got pregnant. It was rough, and my relationship with my parents went straight to the bottom. I didn't have any friends either, everything got worse when the baby is born. Those years were the worst years of my life. <br><br>Anyway, I continuous visiting this sub and learn a lot about this sub. I can say I grew up in this sub. I graduated high school and got a scholarship to go to university in the big city. I moved there and study psychology. I was lucky enough to find aaaaallly that have the same ideas as me! We met in the college's cafeteria and we clicked immediately. It's not usual to see people applying to college alone, both of us did, so it was a strange event and ofc we got attracted to each other. You know how it is when you meet someone that you click with, and you feel like you've known each other for years. That's how I felt about her. We got into a relationship, and everything seemed going well until I found out that she is childfree too, I can't describe how I felt at that moment. A year later we got married. We have two cats, a dog, and we live happily.<br><br>Why I wanted to tell this story; we took a pregnancy test today (She had continuous puking and continuous pain in her abdomen). I was sure that she was pregnant because she doesn't usually get sick once she eats. I remember that I got into a cold sweat and had a huge headache when I thought about having a baby. I was sure that she was pregnant. I tried to prepare myself to talk about this, but I didn't. I was afraid of screwing things up. When the test showed that she isn't pregnant I felt a huge relief. But I told her everything, how I felt when I thought about her being pregnant and stuff. I wanted to be clear because I didn't want to hide anything from her. I love her so much, and I want to be open with her. I told her everything! About my parents, how they treated me, how I felt about having a baby sister and how it affected me and more than that. After that, she started crying and hugged me tightly, and she said "I'm so sorry that you had to go through that, but you don't have to worry. I hate kids more than you do". I felt that weight lifted off my shoulders. I'm really lucky to have such a supportive and understanding wife. I know that it's not usual for people in their 20s to talk about these things, but it doesn't matter how old we are, what matters is that we are on the same page.<br><br>TL;DR: I told my wife about how I feel about kids, and she said that there's no need to be worried about having kids because she hates kids too.<br><br>EDIT: Oh, wow! I didn't think that the post will get this popularity! I want to thank everyone for the awards and the comments!
